So I have a 94 del sol vtec, and a few months ago, I had my tranny replaced. Recently, I had my clutch replaced, and when I got it back, there was really bad vibration. After sticking it up in the air and taking a look, I noticed something. The right axle is angled in by about an inch, and there are shims on the lower control arm. I took the car back to the shop and they told me that if I get new control arms, it'll get rid of the vibration. They tried to tell me that it was the wrong transmission that they installed...that it was a 99-00 civic si tranny...but they're the same tranny!! It sounds like a crock of shit to me, but do any of you have any ideas? Maybe on how to safely realign the axle to get rid of this problem.

 

If you have a d-series engine, there is no way in hell that they were even able to bolt up a b-sieries transmission to it (without a shit ton of aftermarket money spent). They are full of shit. So it must be a d-series transmission & they did something half assed. I'd take it to someone else for a second opinion if you don't know what what your looking at your self.

 

del sol vtec's have b16's

 

The Del Sol SI's have b16's
Some came with a D16z6 (Vtec)

 

the si has the d16z6. the vtec has the b16a3.

 

I believe the tranny is either an s21 or y21. can't remember. i'll take a look and let you know. i could have sworn it's the right tranny. it just doesn't look right. maybe i can get some pics.

 

y21 is what the 99-00 si has i believe i never recall tranny codes
